Germanium Fuzz
Video demo: https://youtu.be/XMFxnY2_PbI
The Roger Mayer classic fuzz Mk.2 , this fuzz uses 2 x AC128 germanium transistors salvaged from a vintage Roberts radio.
Its super fuzzy and meaty, retaining a lot of low end and offering some filtering effects when using the bias control. Spitty, raspy sounds can also be achieved using the bias control.
It cleans up quite nicely when using the volume control on your guitar, sounding like a sweet but gritty overdrive when dialled back 10% or so, right down to clean at 50%.
The fuzz control rolls off quite quickly, reducing the fuzz effect to a warm overdrive within only about 15%, however there are quite a few different sounds within that margin, the effect cleans up even more as you reduce the the last 85%.
The enclosure is made from a salvaged ABY switching pedal made by Fender, the paint was scrubbed off with some patches left giving it a industrial/worn look, the control labels were punched into the steel and scrubbed again before being left to gather some light rust and patina.
It uses a 9v centre negative power supply like most other pedals but unfortunately does not take batteries.
This is truly a unique fuzz with a unique sound, perhaps a bit rough around the edges but full of character and style
